“Taking a global approach
to studying companies,
markets and concepts has
greatly enhanced both my
current marketable skills
and my future international
career opportunities.”
Jonathan Tietke
Master of International Business
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
Today’s business world is increasingly
one without borders, and issues that
relate to international business and
law are fundamental to managers and
business professionals in the global
business environment. Corporate
survival and growth is dependent on
knowledge and experience of the
international framework within which
companies operate. The emphasis of the
program is on effective and sustainable
business growth on an international
scale within multicultural environments.
By joining other high-calibre students
in this program, you will develop the
skills necessary to lead global strategic
decisions that facilitate the sustainable
global expansion of business firms.
While students do not need to have
practical business experience to apply,
an outstanding feature of the course
is that each student works on a mini-
consulting project for a multinational
company based either in Sydney or
overseas. Students will also be offered
the opportunity to participate in a
study tour to experience first hand the
international operations of companies in
Brazil, India or China. This feature puts
the Master of International Business
ahead of comparable programs offered
by other leading international business
schools around the world. The course is
also suitable for experienced managers
looking to progress their global learning
and advance their managing skills with
culturally diverse employees and teams.
